Template format
A couple issues that arose previously with {{User:TehPerson/learnlist/prevgen8}} that I realized no one ever thought to communicate:
- The Generation columns are bolded twice over. Once with the header
!and once with'''. - The links to the past learnset subsections are probably not needed. They could even be confusing if a Pokemon learns a move in more than one way. If people can just get to the page, they can search it themselves.
- Also, the sorting has a couple issues. First off, the numbers just don't sort right. Second, for Pokemon like the Alolan examples, it doesn't work at all. This is probably due to hiding some of the Generation columns, a problem I've had in the past. (I believe the page just thinks the sort button for the second column applies to the second column it has data for, even if it's hidden.) That's one reason it's better to just "erase" the column/cell entirely if you can.
There was also a suggestion that the Generation columns could just be turned into checkmarks ({{yes}}). The column "header" could link to the page instead.
Also, I'll note that #ifexpr is generally a parser we want to avoid using a lot. It'd probably be fine for the past pages, but on the main species page, it could potentially be a problem.
I'm also curious: when you're doing Gen III transfers, how are you going to deal with the fact that individual moves don't actually have a physical/special attribute? Just use the one appropriate to the type and call it good?

- Another unrelated thing: we should probably have a small list of related talk page sections and user subpages linked in the project page. Suic (talk) 01:27, 8 July 2020 (UTC)
